How long do/did you dress your baby in baby gros during the day before it became unreasonable?

[Newmummee]

Ok I know it's not unreasonable I was just trying to fit it in the titled section that I have done!!

When shall I dress my 7 week old in proper day clothes?

[Sharaluck]

About 6-7 months

[IneedAsockamnesty]

John Lewis have those night dress type things

[roofio87]

my 4mo is still in them everyday now. he has had bad colic/wind and hates having trousers on his tummy, he just cries in pain till you take them off!! also, he's a baby, so he wears baby grows!! I saw dnephew last week and he was wearing jeans he couldn't even move in because "we wanted to smarten him up a bit" he's 10mo ffs!!!

[TheNightIsDark]

From birth with all 3 they had day clothes and night clothes.

[trashcanjunkie]

my twins were in them most days unless I fancied something different. I also loved a particular item that was even easier than babygros before they started to move around. It was kind of like the thing maggie from the simpsons wears (though they are boys) a sort of long sleeved vest that went straight down to their feet - no poppers, great in the summer as you just whip it up to do a nappy and then pull it back down. Got them from mothercare. Cute blue and white pinstripes.

From about 3 months I think. I always find it a bit weird if one year olds are still wearing babygro's. Especially if they're going to nursery and walking.

[deakymom]

my daughter was a summer baby and we had a heat wave so she wore nothing at all for a good few months!
my boys are both winter and to be honest they were babygrows under there pram suit but if i was going somewhere he would be taking it off i did put real clothes on him!

[DownyEmerald]

A few months. I wish I'd kept dd in them longer. At the time all my friends were dressing theirs in outfits (at least when I saw them), and people gave us outfits as presents. Now looking back at the photos it looks a bit mad - a bit like Baby David on the Royal Family in tiny leather jackets. It wasn't that bad, just tees and leggings, but they are so small a babygro looks much better I think.

[CarlaVeloso]

Denim should be banned for babies!!! I feel so mad when I see babies in jeans. Grrrrrrrrr. It's just cruel.

[CarlaVeloso]

Babygros for first six months should be the law!!

[andadietcoke]

I've got my twins dressed in 'proper' clothes every day since they were about a month old, mainly because when I had no clue what to do with them both it was an easy half an hour to have some nappy free time kicking on the bed while I got them both dressed. I don't believe in all the stuff about getting them to differentiate between night and day, it was just a way of taking up some time (and using all the presents we'd been bought).

[TomDaleysTrunks]

Depends on the morning we are having. If all is going to plan then I've started putting outfits on her. If we are late getting DD1 out the house then she will just stay in her baby gro with a cardi over it. Dd2 is 6months. Boots do lovely footless baby gros which are nice for daywear.

[ShadowFall]

DS2 (4 months) has some little pairs of jeans.

They're lined inside with soft fabric so are lovely and soft for his legs. And he has no problems moving his legs about in them.

[GirlWithTheDirtyShirt]

I have never met anyone in real life who dresses their child in a babygrow in the daytime for longer than three months.

And what's this jeans hurt the baby nonsense?! All the jeans we had for DD were lined with cotton and had soft waistbands no different to any other trousers or leggings.

[ThedementedPenguin]

I dressed my ds in jeans and proper clothes from the start. I have a picture of him in day 4-5 in tiny soft jeans.

I think people on here just act ridiculously on here about clothes for babies.

Babygros for first six months should be the law!!

[TheRaniOfYawn]

I go with babygrows until the baby starts crawling.

[DetentionExtension]

Mine were mostly in baby gros for at least 6 months, and only really stopped once she was walking at 9/10 months.

[HoratiaDrelincourt]

So tempted to start a "jeans for babies" thread in AIBU.

[Artandco]

I think anything with a waistband isn't comfy not just jeans. They are laying down half the day, with a nappy already around waist. It just seems another thing to make them uncomfy. The tops also ride up leaving gathered fabric

Actually the most ridiculous thing is cardigans with hoods! The hood is just in the way all day by neck or they have to sleep with it up.

[CecilyP]

Not only is anything with a waist band not as comfortable, but the band tends to get wound round with the top of a disposable nappy and, therefore, wet - really not very nice. So I would go with babygros for as long as possible, maybe in brighter colours for daywear. DS also had some jersey dungaree type oufits with feet to wear over a long sleeve top, which was quite good for a change.

[EmmaFreudsGivingMeJip]

So tempted to start a "jeans for babies" thread in AIBU Do it Horatia. Then run and don't look back.

[HoratiaDrelincourt]

Eeeevil.

Ahem. No. That would be goady and unnecessary.

And very informative and hilarious.

::sits on hands::

[Seff]

What about designer jeans? Surely they're ok...

(I jest, I jest!)

[HoratiaDrelincourt]

So long as they have VERY LARGE LOGOS.
